Hi. We are staying at disney resort. Initially we thought of using EMH by visiting the parks on days they had EMH. As we researched, we realised that EMH drives crowd levels to extra high levels as most disney resort guests walk into those parks with EMH. Any suggestions or guidance please!

Thanks sa_janeb. The only query is that i read in some forums, that disney resort guests definitely visit the park with EMH apart from the usual expected crow thereby increasing the overall crowd levels.

We stay on site, we've never used the morning emh (we've always had at least one or two teens with us...lol), and never paid attention to which park has them, we just go to whatever park we feel like on the day. Don't over think it :)

You are correct, at least every time I've been to a Disney park with EMH anyway. I find that if you choose a park that isn't having EMH the crowds in the morning are much, much lower than the park that is having EMH. Everyone from all the Disney resorts flock to that park and usually the other parks aren't as busy.

I have been to Disney about twice a year for many years. EMH in the evening have ALWAYS been more crowded than regular park hours. I try to avoid those parks having evening EMH because people without park hopper passes will stay there all day to take advantage of that perk. If you get to the park as soon as EMH morning hours begin, it is typically not that busy, but will get busier towards the end of EMH morning hours and can lead to the park being slightly busier during normal hours.

My advice is to avoid parks having EMH evening hours if you want to avoid lines. If you are an early riser and have a park hopper pass, get to EMH morning hours as soon as they begin and go to another park when crowds start to become unbearable (typically a few hours after normal hours begin).

One caveat: With the new Fastpass+ reservation system, you can only reserve rides and experiences at one park per day(at least for now), so keep this in mind. Also, this new system may affect the way people visit parks based on what I just said, so the EMH experience may differ now. I don't get to go again until August, so not sure yet how this will affect crowd levels.
